Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in ORPINGTON, BR6 0EA. The property offers 130m² (1399 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (24/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (40/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2831, comprising £2614 for heating, £103 for hot water, and £114 for lighting. The property produces 8.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2019 for £635,000.
